Cramer: Wait on Monsanto (MON)

During the 'Lightning Round' of last night's Mad Money, Cramer recommended waiting for shares of Monsanto (NYSE: MON) to pullback before pulling the trigger.

When a viewer called in asking about the popular ag play, Cramer gave a stern "I'm concerned..." pointing out the stock's recent run-up: Monsanto is up about 23% since the beginning of May, when shares were trading around $110. Now trading at around $138, the President of Cramerica said current levels are too high and notes that investors could get hurt if oil sinks. Cramer said that if crude goes under $130 a barrel, investors will be able to buy Monsanto "in the $120's".

Despite the bearish near-term tone, Cramer couldn't keep traders away from the stock this morning as shares of Monsanto are moving in pre-market trading. After closing at $136.34 yesterday, Monsanto has moved up nearly $2, or about 1%, about an hour before the market opens.

Monsanto is not the only ag name that has been on the rise lately: shares of Potash (NYSE: POT) and Mosaic (NYSE: MOS) have also seen 20% rises since the beginning of May amid record breaking intraday spikes in crude oil prices.
